Technical issues with making Nostalrius Immortal?

[secold]

What would it take technically to make this server prepetual and immune to cease and desists.

If we released the server data, and source code. Anyone could host an exact replica of Nostalrius provided they had the right hardware.

Then it'd be just a matter of getting the community on the same 'instance' of Nostalrius.

Any ideas or issues with this?

Find someplace that Blizz lawyers aren't likely to be effective, that's also relatively lag-free for most people. France was good for EU and not bad for much of NA. (Not so great for AUS players.)
Iceland, etc. Would be good if something like Sealand/HavenCo was still around.
